Contextual Overview
6 Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and Thy glory be above all the earth. 7 That Thy beloved may be delivered, save with Thy right hand, and answer me. 8 God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; that I would divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. 9 Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre. 10 Moab is my washpot; upon Edom do I cast my shoe; over Philistia do I cry aloud. 11 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me unto Edom? 12 Hast not Thou cast us off, O God? and Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts? 13 Give us help against the adversary; for vain is the help of man. Through God we shall do valiantly; for He it is that will tread down our adversaries.
